Twenty years ago 3 recent Oberlin grads and a friend from Mills College began singing music for women's voices and Solstice was born. Since then, the ensemble has consistently enthralled audiences with their technically precise and passionate treatment of music for women's voices. In the process, they have won numerous awards, and been Bay Area Regional Champions and national third-place winners of the 2007 Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival.
To celebrate 20 years of their award-winning vocal music, the Bay Area-based Solstice got a little help from their friends. Oakland based internationally-acclaimed avant-garde composer Amy X Neuberg has written a new piece just for Solstice and cell phones, Gehim Vaa. San Carlos composer and Arts and Worship Pioneer Cortlandt S. Bender and Fish Camp-based computer and music producer Jim Hale have also written new compositions and arrangements for Solstice.
The concert will also feature many favorites from their usual eclectic, international and beautiful repertoire. In addition, they will welcome back alumnae to the stage to sing some old favorites. Current Solstice Members are Becca Burrington (Oakland), Emily Bender (San Carlos), Kim Warsaw (Menlo Park), Krista Enos (Montara), Lark Coryell (Guerneville), and Sara Webb-Schmitz (Richmond).
The concert will be followed by a party. We hope you will come and celebrate with us!
